October 2023 Release
New Features
The following features are new to Conga Revenue Lifecycle Platform in this release.
Dependent Picklist
The Dependent Picklist allows the creation of a relationship between two picklist fields on an object, where the selected value in the controlling picklist determines the available values in the dependent picklist. This feature is particularly useful when you want to limit the available choices in a dependent picklist based on the value selected in a controlling picklist. You define a mapping between the values in the controlling field and the corresponding values that should be available in the dependent field. Each value in the controlling field can have its own set of dependent values.
Record Type
Introduced a Record Type (transaction type) field to group records within a specific object. It is a label that distinguishes one transaction from another.
All Object Mappings
The All Object Mappings feature simplifies the process of mapping source objects to target objects. It provides a comprehensive view of imported external objects and enables direct source-to-target mapping on a single screen. If a required target object is missing, you can create it seamlessly. It also automatically creates a default set of fields for target objects and facilitates precise source-to-target field mapping.
Formula Fields
The Formula Fields feature provides a convenient solution for transforming source formula expressions into target formula expressions that are compatible with the Conga Platform.
Guest User
You can now create a guest user by clicking the new Add Guest button on the user listing screen. You can also use the Guest User endpoints available under the User Management APIs.

- All Field Mappings
- Run Details

Logical Operators and Regular Expressions Support for Document Search
Introduced the following enhancements in the Search API for document search:
- Support of AND and OR logical operators to create logical expression conditions for text searches. For example: You can use logical operators to search for a document that contains phrases like "pandemic," "act of God," or "war," and the expression condition would be Document Text Contains ('Pandemic' AND "Act of God," OR "War").
- Support of regular file expressions for identifying files, like .docx,.pdf,.rtf, and .txt.
Complex, Lookup, Picklist, and Multipicklist Fields Support for Platform Search
You can now use the Complex, Lookup, Picklist, and Multipicklist fields to create a search setting for Platform Search.
Assign Admin Permission for the Role
You can now assign the user admin permissions while defining a role.
Picklist Field Support for Alias Field
You can now use the Picklist field available to the Lookup and Reference object as the alias field. For example: On the Agreement page, if you want to refer to the Account object> Contact object> Country picklist field > State picklist field, you can create an Alias field and the Alias Field Definition would be Agreement.AccountId.ContactId.Country.State.
Decimal Prefix Configuration for the Currency
The administrator can now configure the currency decimal places. To do this, a new field Scale is added to the Currency object to define the decimal prefix for the specific currency.
Error Message for Invalid Records
Previously, when you used the following User Management APIs to perform bulk delete operations, you could only get deleted record details in the response. With this release, the APIs also provide error messages for invalid records in the response.
- Object Permission:
DELETE /api/user-management/v1/objectpermissions/bulk
- Permission Groups:
DELETE /api/user-management/v1/permissiongroups
- User Admin:
DELETE /api/user-management/v1/users/{userId}/permissiongroups
- Role Admin:
DELETE /api/user-management/v1/roles/{roleId}/permissiongroups
Validation Message for Existing User
The POST /api/user-management/v1/users/bulk
API returns the User ID in the validation error for the existing users.
Support for Inverse and Indirect Currency Rate Conversion
When there are no direct currency rate conversions, you can now calculate the inverse and indirect currency rate conversions using the Conversion Management APIs. For example, you have the USD to INR and INR to JPY conversion rates in your database.
Inverse Conversion: If INR to USD conversion is not available, you can calculate the INR to USD currency rate conversion.
Indirect Conversion: If USD to JPY and JPY to USD conversion is not available, you can calculate USD to JPY and JPY to USD currency rate conversion. Only one level of indirect currency rate conversion is supported.
Ability to Share Object
You can now share and unshare the object by utilizing the Is Shared flag, which appears when the object is updated.
